Throughout the film, there are many moments where hand movements jump between cuts
Scenario
The city of Nova Roma is pitted against Cesar Catilina, a brilliant artist who champions a utopian future, and the greedy mayor Franklyn Cicero. Between them is Julia Cicero, her loyalties divided between her father and her lover. Francis Ford Coppola wrote the script in the early 1980s, but the film was shelved, in part due to his financial debts. Pre-production finally began in 2001, after shooting 30 hours of second unit footage and doing table reads with Paul Newman, Uma Thurman, Robert De Niro, James Gandolfini, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Edie Falco and Kevin Spacey, but the project was scrapped after the September 11 attacks because a scene in the script (page 166) “predicted” the attacks. Coppola abandoned the project entirely in 2007 and did not begin developing it again until 2019.
Hamilton Crassus III: What Do You Think of This Horny Thing I Got?
The “Ultimate IMAX Experience” version of the film features a live actor asking questions during the filmed press conference.. Referenced on The John Campea Show: Adam Driver will lead Francis Ford Coppola’s new film, Megalopolis (2022). My Pledge Written by Grace VanderWaal Performed by Grace VanderWaal Courtesy of Columbia Records By arrangement with Sony Music Entertainment Produced and orchestrated by Kris Kukul. Dark Feelings. Megalopolis is an epic and silly mash-up of different films (Babylon, Casanova, Moulin Rouge, Cabaret, Batman, Hudsucker Proxy and miniseries Hollywoodland etc.).
The film could have been set in a more realistic location
Coppola recycles a lot of styles from some famous directors like Luhrmann, Chazelle, Burton, Aronofsky, Fellini and Visconti. His own voice is somewhere in the passing details that unfortunately remind him of his weaker films like “One from The Heart”. Then the fantasy of Megalopolis would have been more effective, giving a sense of wow. And what’s the point of stupid and unwarranted theatricality or should I just say theater? Personally, I hate this kind of approach that makes me vomit Baz Luhrmann in my mouth.
The ending was also good
It erodes the serious credibility of the story. Building on that point, there are a lot of loose moments for no reason: taking off the hats, some weird dance poses during the first scene and the general vibe. Still, I really enjoyed the last quarter of the film. There were thoughtful and beautiful ideas. The story is very good with its connections to ancient Rome etc.
Unfortunately, the clutter and restlessness of the theater are eating away at everything
And without the constant interference, the film might have had a chance at being a decent adult fairy tale. Check out our list of exciting new films from this year’s film festivals, including Venice, TIFF, the New York Film Festival, and more.
